Octa-Core Processors, 2+ Ghz speeds, DDR4 memory, 74 GPU cores.... These are the kinds of "specs" that tend to steal the spotlight. And in many ways they have rightly done so for a long while. Anything less than a Dual-Core Cortex-A9 chip running at around 1.2 - 1.4 Ghz tends to create bottlenecks. But we passed that mark in the "low cost" chipset arena a year or so ago. So...

The RK3288 is a rather exciting product. When Rockchip released the RK3066 this was perhaps the first time a Chinese chip really not just caught up to last generation mainstream chips from big silicon designers like Samsung, but actually surpassed mainstream powerhouse chips like the then Tegra 3.

I was doing some reading recently on another blog and noted that they were really hammering the Mini3 for the fact that it only has 1 Gb of ram. FNF explained that the choice was made so that they could create a thinner tablet. Having used, (and loved!) the Mini3, and also used (and not loved...) the Chuwi V88, and the PiPo U8, I can say that they made the right choice. Anyhow, they kind of ran the unit down the road, and the FNF brand, for making such a decision...
